can worms cause bad gas? My dog has had bad gas for over a week?

Question

Along with the bad gas her tail area was sore all the sudden, she would protect it, after a day and a half she was fine but the gas continues I looked at her butt and saw little white mucus looking bumps that did not move at all please help I will probably end up take her to the vet

Answer 1

clean the dog up and put anti-biotic cream on her rear. You can give the dog some pepto bizmol just a little. Judge by weight. Have you feed scraps or changed food? If so do not anymore or change back to the previous food. If any blood in th discharge then good to the vet soon. Worms do not ususlly cause gas but you still ned to treat for worms. Feed store wormers usually do a better job than dept store wormers. Look at the gums and if they are whiteish then wormy or sick. If pinkish then not wormy but till worm if not done in a bit.

Answer 2

Well, I was going to say that if your dog has only had bad gas for a week, you're lucky. Mine's had bad gas her entire life. And she always wonders why we suddenly run away from her. Hmm, maybe I should just tell her.

Sorry, I can't help with the mucus and bumps. No experience there.

Answer 3

I would say that worms may cause gas or when you change dog food it can also cause the dog to have bad gas. Our dog farts a lot if we change his food. Try putting a tablespoon of cider vinegar in the dogs water. Vinegar is supposed to help your stomach and it also helps their breath. If this doesn't help take the dog to the vet.

Answer 4

Don't switch his food so often. Give one brand a chance for a while. You could also give a spoonful of plain, unflavored yogurt daily (no flavored yogurt at all). It might help but be patient to notice results.

Answer 5

Absoulutely ... my cat had them when he was a kitten... couldn't believe the stench that came out of him!

Answer 6

probably nothing. you need to take her to the vet. take a fresh stool sample in with you so the vet can analyze it for parasites.
